Intro

This year we celebrate the 800th Anniversary of Aquinas’s birth. Known for his holiness, intelligence, and immense love for God, Aquinas is often considered one of the greatest thinkers of all time. But today Dr. Kreeft joins Ben Eriksen to discuss why he thinks Aquinas is the greatest philosopher and theologian.

Dr. Kreeft highlights Aquinas’s depth and clarity of thought, his synthesis of previous scholars, and his integration of faith and reason. While many are intimidated to read Aquinas, Dr. Kreeft points out how approachable he is for everyday thinkers and how intellectually as well as spiritually enriching his writings are for those that read him.
